Client-Centered Care and CBT Delivered Online

Mary Hollow uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful and empathetic space where clients set the pace and priorities for their work. This approach focuses on listening, understanding, and supporting personal insight, and it can be helpful for emotional processing, life changes, and building self-esteem.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT offers practical tools and techniques for managing anxiety, low mood, unhelpful thinking patterns, and developing coping skills that can be applied day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Mary works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts the work over time so clients can experiment with different strategies and decide what helps most.

Online therapy with Mary is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit varied schedules and time zones. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without needing to travel, which can help maintain momentum during periods of change or stress.
